You are not going to be able to verify it simply because it isn't true.  
Sponsors pay millions to buy spots on his show and many small radio stations 
that 
carry an array of other conservative talk shows don't carry Rush's because 
they can't afford it.  

I once asked the programming director of one of our local stations why they 
didn't choose to run Rush.  She said they run Imus, Boortz, Hanity, O'Reilly, 
and Savage and that only two hours of Rush would cost more than all those 
combined!  

The records show that Rush contributes heavily to the Republican Party and 
other conservative causes rather than the other way around.

Air America existing as a result of donations from wealthy liberals as 
opposed to the conservative shows that are supported by the people 
(indirectly 
through sponsors realizing millions of people want to list to them) is a very 
fundamental and significant difference.  The notion that the conservative 
talk 
shows are supported by conservative political bodies is only an unreasonable 
myth. 
 Seems to me it'd be good for this to be straight in one's mind before one 
proceeded on to enlighten the world about aught else.
